Texas A&M University Ken® Doll - African American | Barbie Collector

I just found out about this guy. (Basic Model 17 head sculpt on what appears to be a semi-articulated body -- hope I am wrong since his knees look slightly bent. Perhaps they are articulated, too.)

Update (05/31/13):
Ken is a playscale version of a Texas Aggie Yell Squad member. According to their website, "the Fightin' Texas Aggie Yell Leaders... are the leaders of the unique spirit for which Texas A&M is so well known. The Yell Leaders are comprised of five students that are elected by the student body. They are the official spirit organization of the university and they lead Aggie fans in 'yells' during athletic events and other school events. Unlike cheerleaders, the Yell Leaders do not perform gymnastic feats. Instead they use a variety of hand signals, called 'pass backs', to direct and intensify the crowd."

Yes, I know, Muff. I wonder if he will show up locally or if I should just order online. I try to avoid shipping "at all costs." Hopefully BC will have a sale soon to justify the online purchase of one or two of him since currently they don't have anything else that interests me.
